New JERSEY Sensations.

New Jersey, the alleged abode Of justice,
has been greatly disturbed within the last
few days by two events. the like of which
have not occurred within her borders since
her old men were children. One of them
was trial for blasphemy and the other was
a challenge to mortal combat. Events like
these are calculated to make the drowsy
farmers and gentle Quakers of the peace
loving State feel that they are drawing
closer to the great, troubling world than
ever beforel
The blasphemy trial occurred at Morris
town, pretty village in the upper part Of
the State. The defendant was ex-Rev
Charles B. Reynolds, who, from all ac-
counts, is very bad man. He published a
pamphlet a few months ago in which he
denied the truth OF the Bible, reviled the be-
levers in it, and presented picture repre-
senting himself as a philanthropic mis-
sionary casting pearls before swine, the
swine being intended to represent the
spiritual flocIs of the town herded by their
respective pastors.
Reynolds was defended by Robert Inger-
soil, who had very little to say about the
charge against Reynolds, but who made one
of his most eloquent speeches in defense Of
liberty of speech. He charmed the jury
with his talk, and gave graphic descrip-
ton of the barbarities practiccd by the
Puritans upon the inoffensive Quakers when
they first came to this country, because of
their religious belief. The willy Ingersoll
was extremely careful to say nothing that
was in the least offensive to those entertain
ing the most orthodox religious views.
The challenge TO fight duel will hardly
come to anything because public sentiment
in New Jersey doesn't encourage anything
of that kind. The principals to it are ex-
Sergt. Max p. Boehme, of Beverly, and
Capt William B. Miller, of Camden. Capt
Miller commands company C, of the Sixth
New Jersey Regiment, and Boehme
was Sergeant in the company.
The Sergeant was courtmartialcd
and dismissed from the company
year or so ago, and about six weeks ago
he concluded to get mad about his dismissal
Thinking that Capt Miller was to blame for
his disgrace he made up his mind TO chal-
lenge that gentleman TO fight q duel with
rifles at 100 PAGES He waited six weeks be-
fore sending his challenge, and it will prob
ably be six weeks before he gets an answer.
If he makes nuisance of himself in the
meantime Jersey justice may insist ON lock-
ing him in Jail or putting him in an IDIOT
asylum
These little episodes in Jersey life win not
interfere with the summer work Of the mo-
suuito, nor cause fall in prices as the sum
mer resorts along the Jersey coast.
